A friend and I and our wives visited Longleat Safari Park in his Dads
Cambridge.
They had lions and monkeys and all sorts, and the monkeys had a reputation for
dismantling cars as you drove through their compound. We seemed to get out
without any damage but couldn't understand why several other car loads of
people
were grinning at us until we pulled up at a picnic spot for lunch. There lying
along the rear bumper, obviously having slid down the rear wing, was an
enormous
turd.
